Latest & Greatest: April Showers

April 2, 2025

magnolia blooms

We have a magnolia tree right on the corner of our house that wraps around our porch and over the roof (I barely let Ty trim it) and it is my favorite part of our property. It was one of the reasons I was so excited to buy this house! We live in town but have quite a few mature trees in our yard. It makes fall cleanup quite the chore, but I would never trade our big trees for a sparse lot. They’re finally starting to bud and bloom – but, per usual, Ohio spring is too cold and soon everything will be frostbitten. I had Ty grab me some branches from my favorite tree so I can at least enjoy a few of them while last.

Who remembers this $200 Facebook marketplace find from a few years back? I had bought it with the intention of eventually using it at the “next house” we move to and it’s been sitting in storage. There has yet to be a house pop up that has me itching to move, and while we are still here, why wait to pull this sectional out? The whole thing needs reupholstered but the frame and quality of this sofa is so good. My grandfather’s family owns an upholstery shop up in Toledo where I will have this reupholstered – it will be fun to make this sectional exactly what I want, but it will be even more meaningful to have this worked on by family and the history it will then carry with it.

Our current sofa has really been one of the best purchases I have made for this house and I still get questions on it frequently. It has held up beautifully to our young family and it the comfiest sofa for movie watching.

I grabbed these jeans on a whim at TJ Maxx the other day and am so glad I did. The perfect shade of off-white and not too snug for light denim. I can’t find this exact brand but here are a few that would be my next pick!

I was influenced by my Pinterest fashion inspo to buy these Adidas shoes: they’re a cool take on the Sambas that we’ve been seeing for awhile and can be easily styled with denim, dresses, activewear – you name it. I love a slip-on shoe and these are as comfy as they are cool. They also come in black (wish I could order both colors!).

Happy Wednesday!

A moment for my latest @facebook marketplace find A moment for my latest @facebook marketplace find 🫶 this wrought iron chaise for $50 + new cushion from @walmart is going to my mvp this summer. I rearranged the back patio a bit and I’m loving how it feels. Just a little reminder that it doesn’t take big bucks or an overhaul for something to feel fresh again!
A moment for the sconces in our dining room 😮‍💨 the only lights I keep on all day, everyday. This was a project that didn’t take too much time and was 1000% worth it! The lights are from @etsy and so beautiful and affordable. Comment SHOP below to receive a DM with the link to shop our dining room on my LTK 🫶

There is a beauty and ease that comes with life by There is a beauty and ease that comes with life by the sea, whether it be on northern or southern shores. Seashells are a quintessential beauty that are worn by living creatures, eventually discarded for us to enjoy or broken down to become one with the earth. They’re a reminder of the beauty of life and how powerful nature can be. And because of that, I think they’re a perfect addition to any room – no matter where you live!

We started planning and renovating this space abou We started planning and renovating this space about two years ago and I have a few takeaways now that we’ve lived with it:
- so glad we fit as much shelving into this space as possible
- storing our microwave in here is 👌
- I toyed with the idea of adding an ice maker in here…kinda wish I would have
- the wallpaper was the best splurge
- removing walls isn’t always the answer (we split a hallway in two to create this space)

You can read all about this project on the blog! Link in bio 🫶
